Product Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.

Product Description
A heterozygote advantage (heterozygous advantage) describesthe case in which the heterozygote genotype has a higherrelative fitness than either the homozygote dominant orhomozygote recessive genotype. This selection favoring theheterozygote is one of the mechanisms that maintainpolymorphism and help to explain some kinds of geneticvariability. There are several cases in which theheterozygote conveys certain advantages and somedisadvantages while both versions of homozygotes are only atdisadvantages. A well-established case of heterozygoteadvantage is that of the gene involved in sickle cellanaemia.Often, the advantages and disadvantages conveyed arerather complicated, because more than one gene may influencea given trait or morph. Major genes almost always havemultiple effects (pleiotropism), which can simultaneouslyconvey separate advantageous traits and disadvantageoustraits upon the same organism. In this instance, the stateof the organism's environment will provide selection, with anet effect either favoring or working in opposition to thegene, until an environmentally-determined equilibrium isreached. ...
